I've seen it.
If you're referring to the barbershop scene, yes, it does have two men who have a long-established friendship insulting each other - and then when an unknown (to the barber) 3rd party uses the _exact_same_language_ the barber pulls a gun on him.
The lesson you should take from that scene is that what might be acceptable banter between friends is not acceptable public discourse with strangers.

Jesus Christ, Tao, you don't walk
in and insult a guy. What are
you, an idiot?
TAO
But... but that's what you said.
That's what you said men say.
WALT
Not if you never met the guy. If
you say that shit to the wrong
stranger, they'll blow your
goddamned ---- head off!
